Warzone and Vanguard mid-season release time, date, new items, update PATCH NOTES

Call of Duty Warzone and Vanguard’s mid-season content is about to go live on all platforms.

The mid-season content update has a January 13 release date on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC.

While the updates are available to download now, the content itself will go live at 5pm GMT UK time.

The content update adds a new weapon, a new game mode for Warzone, a new Operator and lots more.

The new Operator is named Isabella Rosario Dulnuan Reyes. Players can acquire the new character as part of an imminent store bundle.

Needless to say, the latest Warzone and Vanguard update also makes countless bug fixes and balance changes.

As you can see from the patch notes below, the new weapon is a Welgun Submachine Gun, which is ideal for short to medium-range engagements.

Elsewhere, the new Warzone game mode is called Vanguard Plunder, where the aim is to earn cash.
